Hillel fire set deliberately arson investigator says
By JOSH M. FREDRICKS
An arson squad is investigating a fire that swept through the B'nai B’rith Hillel Foundation at 1029 W. 36th St. Sunday afternoon. Nobody was injured.
Bruce Stevens, arson investigator, said several fires were started. They were probably set by vandals, he said. There are no suspects at this time.
At 3:11 p.m. three engines, two trucks and one rescue squad responded to an alarm called in by campus police.
When they arrived, they found much of the one-story 80 by 100-foot building in flames. Black smoke could be seen by spectators at the Rams-Saints game at the Coliseum.
Chief Antisel of Battalion Eight said that it took about
10 miutes to control the fire. He estimated the loss at about $10,000. He said, “Several rooms were completely gutted. Also, there was extensive smoke and water damage.”
The Hillel Foundation presents religious, cultural and social programs for Jewish students.
Geri Braeger student president, said they definitely plan to rebuild, although it has not been determined if they will use the same location.
POLICE SEEK RAPE SUSPECT
Police reported yesterday they had no suspects for the assault of a freshman coed last Tuesday.
Policewoman Randa Moore declined to give a description of a suspect becausc it might hamper the investigation.
The woman was assaulted in the vicinity of 35th Stree; and Flower Street by a man she had met in Alumni Park.
Alvin Rudisill, university chaplain, said,
“Hillel's contribution to this campus over the years has been creative and significant. We wish Hillel well in their efforts to rebuild. Many will want to help and I hope many will
volunteer from various parts of the campus.”
Beginning tomorrow the Hillel activities will be held at the Latter Day Saints building located at 1012 W. 36th St. Paul Bloland, vice-president of student and alumni affairs, will be speaking at the lunch meeting tomorrow.

The Rev. Ralph Abernathy, leader of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, is one of the scheduled speakers for the Vietnam Moratorium demonstration Oct. 15.
Also scheduled to speak at the 10 a.m. rally is Paul Schrade, western director of the United Auto Workers. Schrade is a former Kennedy aide, shot at the time when Sen. Robert F. Kennedy was killed.
The rally will be held just south of the state museum in Exposition Park.
The 43-year-old Abernathy earned his B.S. in 1950 from Atlanta State College and his M.A. from Atlanta University in 1951.
The Baptist clergyman has been active in the civil rights movement for over 15 years. He organized the bus boycott in Montgomery in 1955, was instrumental in work concerning the Civil Rights’ Act of 1965, and led the Poor People’s March to Washington in 1968.

NATIONWIDE EFFORT
Other schools plan protests
Students all over the nation are responding to American involvement in Vietnam by staging some sort of moratorium demonstration on Oct. 15.
In California, Cal Luthern and Fresno State will close for the day and UCLA will shut down in observance of either the moratorium or the Angela Davis affair. Other UC campuses and state colleges will also be engaged in convocations, class boycotts and rallies.
Plans for moratorium demonstrations have been finalized at another five colleges around the United States. These include Newark State University, Rutgers University, the University of Pennsylvania, Georgetown University and the University of New Mexico.
The president of Rutgers University has asked that all those connected to the university do their part to dedicate Oct. 15 to the examination of current political problems.
The University of New Mcxico will permit the discussion of the war in all classes. The board of regents issued the statement that endorsed the thoughtful, moderate and helpful approach to the Vietnam issue.
The Rev. R. J. Henle, president of Georgetown University, said that classes that day will be optional and hourly masses
will be held for the Vietnam war dead.
Other universities have not planned any special activities for Oct. 15, but many have endorsed a moratorium protest. After giving his personal approval of moratorium demon-
startion, Princeton University President Robert F. Goheen said, “It does not, however, seem to me right to force participation in this sort of protest upon members of the university who may feel very differently.”
ory committee member for the Congress of Racial Equality and serves the American Red Cross and the American Cancer Association.
Steve Schmidt, chairman of the Vietnam Moratorium Day Committee, said that the committee has not received word as to the topic of the two men’s addresses. It is expected that Schrade’s speech will be concerned with the working man, Schmidt said.
On Oct. 15, USC will join over 30 colleges and universities throughout California in staging the Vietnam Moratorium Day demonstration.
Other activities scheduled here include an interfaith service, and a canvassing of the business area, the surrounding community and the city hall.
The inter-faith service is set for noon in Alumni Park.
Plans are to have a minister from each of the religions participate. Immediately following the service, students will join others in the canvass of the city.
The nation-wide organization of a moratorium day began last June in Washington. Since that time, the committee has worked to organize activities on campuses across the country.
Since then the committee has received the endorsement from 14 well-known men. Among these are Sen. Eugene McCarthy, Sen. George McGovern, John Kenneth Galbraith and Cesar Chavez.
In his endorsement, McCarthy said:
“The Vietnam Moratorium is the most significant demonstration of opposition to the war in Vietnam since the primary results of 1968. It is the only way that the people of the country can demonstrate a second judgment on the war in Vietnam to those who hold political power.”
